The special feature of Models 145-60 and 145-100 is the increased drawing speed of the drawing punch which, in addition to the normal drawing speed range of 0 – 1200 mm/min can be adjusted, in an infinitely variable manner and independent of
load, up to 3000 mm/min. This is achieved by using a separate oil circuit, fed by a pump with high volumetric displacement. Contrary to the high speed attachment based on a nitrogen accumulator, here a constant drawing speed behavior is guaranteed over the total displacement of 150 mm. As to the technical design and the options available, including PC control and proportional valve technique, this machines are similar to Models 145. With electro-hydraulic Drive and PLC. With an extensive tooling and accessory list, the machine performs FLC-Test, Bulge-Test, High Speed Test standardized.

Model 161, is an electrohydraulic testing machine to carry out the hydraulic cupping test on all ferrous and nonferrous metals. Specimens up to a size of 400 x 650 mm can be tested. In addition to the actual hydraulic forming process the design of the machine also allows the use of ball punches (FLC) up to a diameter of 100 to 195 mm.

The Models 145-60 and 145-100 belongs to the top-of-the-line models of our sheet metal testing machines. Depending on the demand, there are two versions available: with a drawing force of 600 kN or 1000 kN, including an increased blanking force and blank holder holder force for blank diameters up to 220 mm. The testing machines are equipped with electro-hydraulic drive, fully automatic test sequence and switch-off at specimen failure. This Sheet Metal Testing Machine is not only ideal for the effortless, quick and accurately all important and known-deep drawing tests for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, it is also designed for a large number of additional technological investigations.

Measuring Instrument for Determining Height of Ears. For rapid measurement of ears formed on cylindrical cups of diameters from 15 to 50 mm. The heights of the ears and valleys are measured and are displayed as a percentage and in millimeters by simple placing of the cup on the location of the instrument. The measuring resultis displayed on digital display when a push-button is operated.

The Bead Test Instrument Model 227, enables the quantitative assessment of the technological properties of stamping paints and plastic coatings on cylindrical standard cups. The instrument was designed to produce stresses comparable to those which occur in practice and is particularly suited for use in the development of high quality stamping paints

The ERICHSEN Sheet Metal Testing Machine, Model 100, is a bench mounted unit with a cast iron machine body and a cylindrical test head. To conduct the cupping test the sheet metal specimen or foil is entered into an opening through the test head. The screw-in blankholder is set for the sheet thickness using the scale provided. The test head is then tightened manually against a stop on the locating sleeve. This clamps the blank with a force of 10 kN as required by the cupping test standards mentioned above. The clutch pin is pulled outwards from the locating sleeve, the test head is turned clockwise and the cupping process commences. The cupping test value reached is displayed on a digital counter. The forming process and the appearance of the crack can be observed conveniently looking down onto the blank holder.
